How are you playing modern games on iOS? Serious question.
Do you know how much is the power draw while inactive ? If you ran raspberry pi 4 or higher for stuff may be this as an always on device is better as it can double down as a desktop so you are probably not wasting by too much power

I have a 2020 M1 mini 16 GB and 1 TB storage (wife insisted). If it wasn't for that large HD I invested in I'd be all over that trade in deal.
That said I love my mini.
$499 x = $1000
But because it's free 8GB extra, that's like another $180 x 2 = $360 for free so the value is really $1360 at $1000 cost.
I'm trading a M2 Mini and 1st Mac Studio for 2 M4 Mini base for basically free with the trade-in values of $720 + $260 = $980.
So I'm basically replacing my gear for free (minus the taxes I have to pay)
Apple EDU + Trade-in = awesome!
M3 single core beats your M2 pro… M4 is significantly better. But will you notice the difference? I wouldn't, but it depends on your use case.
For 90% of people out there. The base model w/16gb RAM is enough and just get an external SSD.

I will happily give you the $260 trade in value for your Studio
